"She's started to receive the treatment, and the doctor promised that she'll be healed within six months," Rickard said plainly. "It's your birthday next week. If you want anything, I'll let Benji buy it for you."Renfrew looked at Rickard with some disdain. "I don't need anything. If you're going to give someone a birthday gift, you need to be sincere. If I need something, I can ask Uncle Benji anytime.""If you don't want it, then that's fine with me. I don't have time to go back," Rickard replied, his face expressionless."Daddy, it seems to me that you don't love me as much as you used to," Renfrew said."I'm busy taking care of your mother," Rickard replied.Clicking his tongue twice, Renfrew said, "Alright, I'll forgive you. As your superior, I hope you can complete the task quickly and bring my mommy back safely and soundly.""Alright." Rickard chuckled. "I won't let you down, Sir."*The next day, when Hesper went to Eustoma in a wheelchair, it attracted a lot of attenti

When Roberto returned, he found that Hesper was sitting in a wheelchair. "What on earth…"Hesper stuck her tongue out mischievously. "This is my new mount. I won't have to walk anymore. Isn't it convenient?"Roberto knew that Hesper had injuries on her legs, and she got seriously ill after getting caught in the rain, which worsened the injuries. But… why did she not tell him that it had become this severe?Seeing Roberto's increasingly serious expression, Hesper also knew that he really believed it, and quickly explained, "Don't take it seriously. My legs are fine. I was just joking with you.""Really?" The frown on Roberto's forehead did not go away as he signed. "So why are you on a wheelchair now? Has your condition become so serious?"Hesper shook her head and told him everything that happened recently. His expression relaxed when he heard that she was receiving treatment. "It'd be great if your leg injury could be cured. You need to cooperate well with the doctor.""I know

"Ahem…" Rickard also realized that he was being foolish. He rubbed his temples helplessly. "I'm sorry."The mysterious doctor laughed. As he started recalling his past, the smile on his face slowly faded away. "Talking about these things seems a bit distant now. Considering your age, it's already something from the previous generation.""Sir…" Julian walked in, and upon seeing Rickard, he silently stood to the side.The mysterious doctor stood up, grabbed the things he needed for that day, and asked, "Is Hesper back?"Julian nodded, and Rickard remained silent. "I'll tell you some other time," the strange doctor said. "I know what you want to ask. Hesper's condition is getting better. I assure you that I'll give you back a lively ex-wife within six months."Julian glanced at Rickard, but he did not say anything and followed after the mysterious doctor. Rickard also got up and went up to the balcony. He watched as Hesper went into her house with a fresh bouquet of roses in her a

The mysterious doctor and Julian froze. They exchanged a glance when they heard Hesper's question. Just when they thought Hesper had realized something, she just acted normally and told them to continue the treatment as if she was just joking.Julian frowned and the mysterious doctor patted his shoulder. "Focus. Hand me the needle.""Yes, sir."Hesper watched their reactions, and a hint of amusement flickered in her eyes. In the end, she did not say anything, but her gaze involuntarily fell on the bouquet of roses by the bedside.*When Hesper woke up the next day, she skillfully got onto her wheelchair. She went downstairs, and as soon as she turned her head around, she realized that the bouquet of roses she placed on the windowsill last night had withered. Hesper frowned and maneuvered her wheelchair over to the roses. Sure enough, the whole bouquet had wilted overnight and lost all its vitality.'What happened?' Just then, Pennleigh's phone call came in. Hesper decided to

She had been recognized before due to her voice, so she learned how to fake her voice from Stephen. That's why Hesper was confident that she could fool Matthew.Initially, Matthew felt that the person in front of him was somewhat familiar, but the feeling was gone immediately when he heard her voice. Although he was disappointed, he did not allow his emotion to appear on his face. He looked at Hesper sitting in the wheelchair and felt that things must have been hard for her."Did my sister offend you?" Matthew said. He knew Rachael very well. If she had not fallen out with River A., she would not have come and asked him for help.Hesper raised her eyebrows and said, "So you're here to apologize to me? Anyway, I do hope that you can cancel this order… After all, as you can see, the main reason I declined Ms. Lane's request is that my physical condition won't allow me to work too much." "Okay, I understand," Matthew said. "I apologize on her behalf." Even though she knew that Ma

After boarding the plane, Matthew vaguely felt that there was something off when he saw River A. earlier. He had never seen that face before, but it gave off a familiar vibe... And then there was Pennleigh. Why did River A. stop him from calling her? The more he thought about it, the more he felt something felt off. Before takeoff, Matthew messaged Renee and asked her to look into the background of River A.Thinking of those eyes that stared at him fixedly, Matthew frowned.'Is that you, Hesper?'When Hesper called Julian to say she was returning home, Julian lowered his head and packed up his things, a smile appearing on his lips. When the mysterious doctor walked over and saw Julian grinning at his medicine bag, he frowned. He walked over to Julian and patted his back, his expression serious as he asked, "What have you done?"Julian's back shook as he was startled by the sudden tapping. He looked at the mysterious doctor and licked his parched lips."I don't know what you're t

"It seems like even heaven doesn't want the flower to die at all," the mysterious doctor said. "Alright. Don't think too much. Let's get inside first."Julian clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles were turning white. "Why? Why is even heaven helping him? No… This isn't supposed to be happening. I put so much medicine on it. There's no way the flower hasn't wilted yet…" The mysterious doctor walked over and observed the flower. After a while, he sighed in realization. He had not looked closely at the bouquet of flowers before. He had just heard others say it was roses, so he assumed they were. But now, he could see that it was a bunch of carnations.The day before, the mysterious doctor had already felt that something was off about Hesper's attitude. Why did she suddenly say things that made them nervous and scared? It turned out that Hesper already knew that their neighbor was Rickard and that all of them were staying in the house next to her house. And the reason t

With Rickard's financial support, finding a suitable surgical location and equipment was not a problem at all. Initially, the mysterious doctor was still thinking about how to deceive Hesper about this issue, but now that she knew everything, it saved him a lot of trouble."Alright, let's set it for this Sunday."Hesper still felt a little bit unreal looking at her own parameters. However, since the surgery date was confirmed, it meant that she would soon recover. Then she would also have more time to think about her relationship with Rickard.Everything was heading toward the right direction. Hesper felt much happier when she went to work. Even Andris could see that she was in a good mood that day."River, what's the matter? You look so happy today."Hesper was first stunned for a moment. Then she looked at her own reflection through the glass. Unbeknownst to her, the tips of her lips were curving upward and her eyes were lit up with delight. Even though she was still wearing tha

He had never anticipated that he would end up loving her so deeply.It could be said that amidst all the misunderstandings and complexities, their journey together had taken many winding paths."I wouldn't risk getting into trouble just to set off fireworks for someone I didn't even like," Rickard said, his voice gentle. "You dummy."His words were soft, but as Hesper listened to his explanation, she cleared her throat, and her eyes turned bloodshot. She had never imagined that the person she had loved so intensely in her youth had, at some point in their lives, secretly admired her.Hesper attempted to smile but ended up with teary eyes. Seeing this, Rickard reached out and affectionately ruffled her hair. "If it's going to make you cry, I won't say anything more."Hesper pursed her lips. "If you don't want to talk about it, then don't."Rickard, despite understanding her reluctance, couldn't help but reflect on the past and openly admitted to the emotions he had felt in his you

They were flooded with memories, and Hesper couldn't help but admit that she had been through so much with Rickard. Her eyes welled up with emotion.The livestream ended, as they couldn't maintain constant surveillance of their lives. Even though they hadn't gone home yet, the crew had left.In the past two days, people had gotten to know them quite well, so the crew decided to give them some alone time.Hesper sat in the passenger seat and stole a glance at Rickard. She couldn't help but say, "I never expected that the only time you were seen as making a mistake in Grandpa's eyes was because of me.""There are many things you don't know," he replied. Hesper raised an eyebrow and asked, "Like what? Tell me."Suddenly, Hesper recalled the countless times Rickard had looked at her. Yet, during those moments, Rickard had always had feelings for Juniper. She knew that was the reality, so she never expected that Rickard might have had the same strong feelings for her as she had for h
A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love Chapter 1859
Hesper glanced at Rickard, who remained emotionless, but she still reached out to hold his hand.[This is tough to see. Both of Rickard's parents are no longer here… Sigh.][Hesper immediately checked on Rickard. If I were Rickard, I'd love her so much.]Ernest shook his head and remained silent as he flipped to the next page. Most of the pictures were of Hesper after that. She hadn't realized she had so many childhood photos. Julian appeared in some of them, too.Before everything went sour.Rickard didn't have many pictures. As he grew older, he became quieter.Most of them showed Hesper standing next to Julian, but there was something off about them.[Did you notice... In many of those pictures, Hesper was looking at Rickard, and in others, Rickard was looking at her.][Oh my god, is this puppy love? I had no idea!][I remember Rickard had another lover.]Hesper had noticed, too, but there was no need to remind people that Rickard used to hate her, so she dismissed it as a

Hesper and Rickard entered the room and awkwardly informed Ernest that everything had been live-streamed just now. Ernest was shocked, but upon hearing that it was something people do, he nodded."It's fine. There's nothing that others can't hear."Hesper pursed her lips and glanced at Rickard before saying, "We didn't expect the Summers to come and see you. You should move in with us so these people will leave you alone."If Ernest lived with them, no one would dare intrude because they represented power and influence.Who would dare challenge them?"I don't want to get involved in your life. Renfew and Renarie would keep you occupied enough."Hesper understood that he had already made up his mind not to live with them, so she didn't press the matter further.She could understand his concerns, as many things might become inconvenient. Besides, Ernest didn't want to disrupt their lives either."We'll be heading to Fredonia soon, so even though we have filming to do, we wanted t

So what if the cameras were still recording?"Was my son's life not as valuable as your son's?"If he had grasped this earlier, recent events might not have unfolded. Jade had a point.The live chat fell silent. Though they lacked the full backstory, they could deduce what had transpired in the past.[I heard Rickard lost his parents when he was a child. I feel sorry for him.][His parents died because of that incident. It's no surprise if he harbors resentment.][Truthfully, this old man has no shame. If my child were responsible for another child's death, I'd beg for forgiveness.]Everything unfolding before their eyes was purely coincidental, and no one had control over the situation. They could only watch and terminate the livestream immediately if anything escalated.Fortunately, Jade received a stern talking-to and refrained from discussing the matter further, but Mrs. Summers did not fare as well. Hesper and the others bore witness to her irrational behavior.[This is e

"We've known each other for years, Ernest. I saved your life once, and now your descendants want to take my son's life!"As they approached, Jade Summers was angrily berating Ernest before him. Hesper's countenance immediately turned frosty as she walked over to Ernest."You should conduct yourself more appropriately, Mr. Summers Sr."Jade was taken aback to see Hesper, but he composed himself, took a deep breath, and fixed her with a hatred-filled gaze."If it weren't for you, none of this would have happened. You're just a woman. Since when do you get a say in the Duval family matters?"In the 21st century, people were all for equality. Besides, Hesper was no ordinary or unintelligent woman. Naturally, she had a voice in these matters.The viewers were inundated with comments when they heard Jade's words, and the live chat exploded.[Who is this guy? He looks old but lacks respect.][What's the argument about?][I sense some drama.]Rickard walked over. Jade had thought he

[Didn't Hesper mention that Mr. Duval Sr. took care of her? Maybe she did grow up well.][I'm certain she did. Hesper doesn't strike me as someone who would tolerate mistreatment.]Hesper and Rickard were under constant surveillance throughout the journey, and they hadn't allowed Benji to accompany them. Rickard was behind the wheel, with Hesper in the passenger seat.During the drive, they remained silent, but to observers, it appeared as though they were in harmony.Upon arriving at the ancestral mansion, Hesper noticed other cars parked around and cast a curious glance at Rickard. Visitors to Ernest's home were a rarity."Sir, Ma'am, you're back," a young housekeeper greeted them. It was the same person who had assisted Wendy earlier, but they couldn't recall her name. Nevertheless, Hesper had faith in her.Noticing the housekeeper's troubled demeanor, Hesper deduced that the guest inside was likely unwelcome. However, she couldn't fathom who would disrupt Ernest's life. Given

Rickard noticed something in Hesper's expression, prompting him to ask, "Is there something else you haven't told me?"Being intimately familiar with each other wasn't always without its challenges. Hesper could never conceal anything from him.She sighed and replied, "It's nothing. Just that Pennleigh will also be on the list."Rickard fell silent.Hesper was aware that sometimes Rickard might not appear bothered, but Pennleigh's presence did bother him.Observing Hesper's awkward expression, Rickard lowered his gaze and suddenly took on a pitiful appearance, like a big dog caught in the rain.Yet, she knew he was merely putting on an act. Still, every time she saw him like that, she couldn't help but miss the Rickard who didn't engage in such playful antics. His character had undergone a change.Hesper found it amusing but didn't quite know how to express it. She sighed and added, "It's a fantastic opportunity. I know you'll let me go, right?"Rickard had no intention of inte

"Sullivan lied to her. He had her parents quietly killed. She found out after she turned her back on you."Benji lowered his gaze. "She was already dead when you came back. It was suicide."The conclusion lacked the weight necessary for such a betrayal. Hesper shut her eyes. The person she had trusted most was Renee. They had shared countless years together.Hesper acknowledged that their bond might not have been a genuine friendship. Renee had abandoned her when given the choice.However, Hesper had faced such situations before.Thankfully, there had been someone who had placed her first in their heart, reassuring her that she wasn't always relegated to being an option. Hesper stood in silence for a while before simply nodding.There was nothing she could do to aid Renee now. Renee had entered and departed alone, leaving no trace behind with Hesper.When the topic was broached, it weighed heavily on her heart. Hesper understood the situation but found herself at a loss for word
